A bright sunny afternoon.
You’re sitting in the classroom. You look around and notice that others are so into the class. You hate it. You’ve eaten well. At one point, your eyes started getting blurry and you can’t keep it open. At last, you slam on the desk with your eyes closed and you see black.
You open your eyes but still, you see completely black. There seems to be no sign of light anywhere. But your head feels heavy a bit. Suddenly a bright light comes from above and you look up but there you see nothing. Then you realise that the shine comes from your head. That’s a BULB!
The bulb is glued onto your head and glowing vividly. It has a bright yellow tint to it. You wonder where the top part of your head went.
You see a cluster of light shining magnificently far from where you at. It is the sole source of light apart from your bulb. Since it is completely dark, only the light from your bulb paves the way to your destination. As you walk near to it, you see the whole area is divided into two sections.
There are two wooden signboards at the centre of the sections. The left board has a picture of two bulbs propagating the same colour and you see a text beneath the picture. ‘SIMILIS’ is the text and an arrow mark pointing to the left section of the area. The right board also has a picture and a text. It shows two bulbs generating unique colours. ‘ALIUM’ is the text and an arrow showing us the way to the right section.
You wonder what those signboards depict. You’re puzzled on choosing the section to move forward. Swiftly a man comes from nowhere near to you and begins to speak. You’ve seen him somewhere. He has the same bulb as you have in your head but it exhibits a dark green colour. Slowly you too started to interact with him. He takes you for a walk and you both moved forward.
He spoke so well and intense. He explained everything that you needed to know and gradually started sharing his thoughts and opinions. You are so into the conversation that you forgot which side you went.
You just came out from one beautiful hearing that you think you had as the man disappeared. Now you look back, you find that you’re in the ‘SIMILIS’ section. You can’t even see the entrance and there is no possibility of reaching it. You glance around, here you see many people.
Everybody has the same green colour.
You also discover that the colour of the light that reflected from your bulb has changed into a dark green tint.
Now you look at the other section, there are merely about dozens of people. There you see numerous colours that are full of energy and life.
But you let out a big sigh of relief when you observed that majority are in your side.
Immediately the world started to collapse.
You woke up.
You said to yourself that this is one of the most beautiful dreams that you ever had.
You’re a tamed horse now.
